I am trying to write a function that I can call to return the value of what next skill I want to research. Nestled within the function is a switch. I want the function to return a value that I can send directly (#SEND - or another way). So far, I cannot get the function working, nor can I get it to send anything from within the function. Can anyone help me with this? The full class code is below - i know there are other errors in it - I am mainly worried about the function and how to get the returned value to be sent. Thanks!

First of all, please encode any scripts in code tags (you surround code with [], and close it with /code surrounded by []).

Second, your function isn't proper. Functions are supposed to #RETURN something. In your case, you'd want to do something like:

#RETURN %switch(@stog, "com1", "throw", "com2", "blasters" ... etc).

However, you're probably better off making the com1 stuff as a key in a database variable with the value being the throw stuff. For example:

#ADDKEY researchdb {com1} {throw}
#ADDKEY researchdb {com2} {blasters}
etc.

That way, in your scripts, you can do:

research %db(@researchdb, @stog).
